Book Page

Each book front page has three parts under the standard header (for more information on the standard Law Trove header see On Every Page): the index card at the top; the contents list in the main pane, and navigation links on the left.

At the top: the index card

The grey index card at the top of the pane contains all you need to know about the textbook – who wrote it, what it is about (both a short prose abstract, and also a list of some keywords – some of the key concepts of the book), and bibliographic information.

On the right of the index card you may find information on the author.

Click on a keyword to run a search for other textbooks with that keyword - great for finding related content.

In the main pane: the contents list and chapters

Where a book has part headings you'll need to expand [+] to see individual chapters.

Expand the front matter and you'll find tables of statutes and cases which are hyperlinked and will take you directly to the relevant content. End matter contains hyperlinked index, appendix/ces, and sometimes a glossary.

On the right is a Go to page box. If you have a page number from the print edition, enter it in the box and click 'go' to jump to the beginning of that page in the online version of the content.

On the left: the navigation links

All the boxes on the left help you locate where you are and find exactly what you want - either inside this textbook, within Law Trove, or elsewhere.

Use the Search within box to run a quick search through the textbook you are looking at.
